What are the 5 best home renovations you can do now, as a home owner, when you’re thinking about selling your home in the near future?
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty, and I help people sell and buy homes here in the East Bay.
As a homeowner looking to sell, you may be wondering what home improvements you should do to help maximize the profit on your home sale.
Let’s talk about it!
Paint Color. Color is one the most basic and appealing ways to update the home without breaking the bank. When choosing a color to sell in this market, it is always best to go with neutrals.
Curb Appeal. We all know making a first impression is key. It is all about creating an inviting and visually appealing exterior that captivates everyone passing by. That’s why having the exterior of your home updated with lighting, planting, and landscaping. All of these improvements will help elevate your curb appeal.
Ongoing maintenance. Home Maintenance and repairs are crucial to ensure the value of the home. If you are unwilling to do the repairs yourself, hire a professional . Maintaining your home will bring more rewards not only while you live there but also when you go to market.
Kitchens and Bathrooms. These two areas of the home can get costly to renovate very quickly, and they are often the first areas buyers critique and scrutinize when buying a home. YET, you do not need to do an extensive renovation and spend tens of thousands of dollars. Research shows extensive kitchen remodels typically only bring back about 70cents for every dollar spent when done for a home sale. Simple updates! Like painting the cabinets, replacing some fixtures, or updating appliances can add value.
Scents. Make sure your home passes the smell test. No one likes a funky smelling home. Make sure your carpets stay cleaned and maintained, no exterior garbage or anything that may create odors.
Call me! I’d love to help and guide you through this ever changing market.
